Tianna Meilinger started Vaya Bags in 2005 with a single messenger bag she made for herself.

The bag was strong, sturdy and perfect for her commute. People loved the bag so much they started requesting one of their own.

Since then, Vaya Bags has expanded the collection to include purses, laptop cases and book bags, as well as other accessories such as panniers, belts, wallets, cell phone holders and handle bar bags for bikes.
